This Zionist shit is vile. They want every Jewish person to feel unsafe when Palestinian rights are mentioned to make every antisemitic act as fuel to perpetuate genocide. People like Stephens don’t give a shit about the people murdered. They just use their fresh corpses as ventriloquist dummies.

The Hanukkah massacre at Sydney’s Bondi Beach “represents the continuing inability of the government of Anthony Albanese, Australia’s prime minister, to safeguard the country’s Jewish community,” our columnist Bret Stephens writes.

This CBC article, which takes its headline directly from how the Liberals describes it, also mentions the bill intends to bring in mandatory minimum sentences; something the Supreme Court of Canada (and multiple provinces) have ruled to be unconstitutional. Fuck the Liberals.

Terribly stupid idea that will satisfy faux-populist urges to dunk on public servants while simultaneously making the lives of public servants and the service itself so much worse.

Goofy stuff.

Amazon is trying to kill the post office, and make no mistake: it will do the same in Canada.

Its subcontracted delivery model must be regulated out of existence if we care about not just the postal service, but ensuring delivery workers have good, union jobs they can depend on.

Amazon looks into expanding its nationwide delivery network and giving up its long-standing partnership with the U.S. Postal Service.

I believe we are doing "normal."

What voters want.
Went for a 30 minute walk.

1. Nearly hit by a car running a stop sign.
2. Nearly hit by a car running a red light (but got to see the flash of a red light camera. Small victories)
3. Nearly hit by a car turning on a red without stopping…8 seconds after incident #2.

What are we even doing anymore?

My solution to save the NDP is to purge most of the decision makers and blacklist them from ever being involved with the party ever again. Anything less you’re just putting lipstick on a pig carcass.

Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures! These sewing #needles were made from animal bone some 15,000 years ago. Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start. Form follows function! 🧵1/2

Ontario feels seen.
This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Of all the positions in our modern hellscape, landlord should be one of the most stigmatized.

Any conversation about return to office vs work from home that does not acknowledge the ongoing pandemic is ignorant, ableist and destined to miss the mark.
Many, including disabled people but not only disabled know they cannot risk getting COVID and offices haven’t taken steps to protect workers.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.
